Hi Folks
Only diagnosed two weeks ago so still trying to get my head straight from the shock!
Having read up on LCHF mainly via this forum I know that controlling sugar levels is important
Over the last two days I've noticed my levels have come down but not sure if I might be going too far on the low carb side.
Yesterday morning pre food was 4.5
2 Hrs after breakfast of bacon eggs mushrooms in coconut oil 5.2
before lunch (approx. 4 hrs) 4.6 2 hrs after lunch of chicken thighs salad and chorizo with spinach 4.4
Went for walk in morning and again out to pub for evening meal of steak and salad and glass red wine
Tested at supper and down to 4.4 so had half Lidl protein roll with cheese to get me through the night
This morning I was 4.5
Most of the readings I see on here are higher and I have been told as a type 2 I shouldn't be going much under 5
So am I reducing carbs too much or just confusing myself with what's happening because of information overload from too much
research
Thanks in advance
